Discordant and dissonant, 'Rest in Piss' is Batpiss's third LP, and the most incredibly-titled release you'll see this side of the Pacific in 2017. Recorded and produced by Gareth Liddiard of The Drones (a match made in gritty rock heaven), it follows the wild community radio success of first single 'Weatherboard Man' that saw the band sell-out Collingwood's Gasometer to the hilt, delivering a confronting and committed set and introducing a series of new material from the record.

Paul Piss kindly expanded on the record's themes and artwork: “The cover is from a painting i'd done earlier in the year. I'd been mucking around with some messy portraits and abstract stuff using oils and oil pastels. After a month or two of sitting in the shed all night pushing paint around, we had about a dozen to choose from. The album itself is about dead mates and some of the stuff that comes with missing them, so we settled on the face, and the title pretty easily. Marty nailed the design and layout in one go, then we had a few vape bags, listened to John Lennon, and here we are…”

'Rest in Piss' traverses with gigantic, purposeful leaps, this record delves deep into the darkest, dankest parts of the Australian psyche.

Batpiss will be appearing at the Brisbane Hotel in Hobart on Friday, August the 11th, and at Club 54 in Launceston on Saturday, August the 12th.
